Good for her that she had done, personally i think everybody must have the right to defend there family and property when somebody is entering it
unlawfully unfortunately it is not always that way.

Lived in Turkey for many years and the law there is that when some one enters your property you can shoot him below the waste(so in the legs) when
that person is in your bedroom you may shoot to kill and you are not being prosecuted.Try to find a link for that law.

Wow that's a strange one. I think it's a bit of a grey area under Australian law but going on past cases it seems that if you stop to think about it
you might find yourself in a bit of trouble being that it's premeditated and all the crap.

I shot to wound your honour! Well then you're off to gaol because you planned it. That actually happened in regards to a break and enter where the
thief was wounded.

I was in fear of my life so I just aimed and fired your honour! Ok case dismissed. That actually happened in regards to a break and enter where the
thief was shot dead.

Which gives credibility to the saying that dead men tell no tales. A wounded one will lie through his teeth.

I was told years ago by a cop that if you're going to shoot be sure to kill because the evidence will present itself but if you wound them they will
lie through their teeth and there'll be an army of do gooders on their side.
